You have mail

Ellie picked up the PALM mail on January 27. We now have applications for 165 riders. This is what we experienced last year when the ride was filled by February 19. Ellie said that she got 8 Express mail applications so these 165 are probably the riders who were in line outside the store waiting for it to open, but still it looks like the economic times may not be affecting PALM too drastically.

In any case, our limit is 700 riders and we are 20% there. You might be saying to yourself: it's January, how do I know if I'll be ready for PALM in June? How do I know my family's schedule? Suppose you have to cancel. It will cost an individual $15 to cancel before May 15. If all of your family is on one application, it will cost your family $20 total to cancel by May 15. If you think you can do it or if you've always wanted to do something like this, sign up. It's not like an airline ticket. It won't cost you much if you change your mind.

It's been a week since the PALM applications have been mailed 1st class. If you are on the mailing list, you should have received your application by now. If you haven't then you are never going to get it. If you need an application, click here to download one. I'll be adding this link to the website tonight.
